“Oh Lilia, your sense of self is only as funny as your sense of not jumping into fiery pits,” Adagio grinned as she read her book on the sofa.

Footsteps approached her, before stopping in front of the couch, “Hey, Adagio! Look what I just bought!”

Adagio looked up from her book and scoffed, “Oh what are you spending my money on now, missy?”

“Hey, you gave me your credit card and said to go buy some nice outfits! So I did!” Sonata came into view, revealing to be in a lacy black lingerie set. “This was one of them!”

Adagio’s jaw dropped as she watched her stroll in, “Oh… my…” she said, slowly grinning.

“You like it?” Sonata did a little twirl, giggling.

Adagio’s eyes trailed up and down Sonata’s body. She was still a very skinny girl, but the lingere hugged her very nicely, “Oh me likey!”

Sonata went over to the other woman, swaying her lips slightly and straddling her lap, “I think we still have some ‘No Clothes’ time, don’t we…”

Adagio laid her book down and laid her hands onto Sonata’s hips, “Yes, yes we do…”

“Awesome,” Sonata purred, nuzzling her face and then toying with the buttons of her blouse, “Besides, you made me feel better when I needed some lovins… time for me to give you a little thank-you…”

“Oooh,” Adagio purred, leaning in and nibbling Sonata’s ear, “This deserves treats later, sweetheart…”

“Mmm….” Sonata giggled, undoing her blouse, “Sure thing, Adagio-mom…”

Adagio giggled at the fact that Sonata likely spent upwards of twenty minutes getting into her lingerie only to be undoing it almost immediately, “I love that you call me Mom,” she cooed, “Tres kinky.”

“It’s fun,” Sonata kissed her face, pulling off Adagio’s blouse and stroking her bare skin, “Specially since I’m your baby…”

“You are,” Adagio purred softly, nibbling Sonata’s ear as her hands roamed down to gently pat her rear, “My adorable, sexy little baby…”

Sonata moaned softly and squirmed a little, “That’s me… your sexy little Sona-baby… Who’s going to give you a lap dance!”

“Ooooh!” Adagio cooed excitedly, “You haven’t done that since we moved in!”

“And I’ve been observing the dancers a lot more, so I could learn…” Sonata nuzzled her nose, and proceeded to gyrate her hips, “You ready?”

Adagio groaned softly at the feeling of Sonata gyrating in her lap. Patting her rear, she nodded, “Oh I was born ready, sweetie.”

Grinning widely, Sonata proceeded to work up a lap dance. While she’d observed for a long time, her moves were slightly clumsy from inexperience. Despite that, she went along solidly. She bounced, gyrated her hips, grinding against her lap. Adagio bit her lip as her eyes trailed all over Sonata’s body, her hands firmly planted on her hips as she felt Sonata rocking close to her.

“Oooh yeah…” Sonata purred, continuing her little dance, “You like this?”

“Oh do I ever!” Adagio grinned eagerly, “You’re so gorgeous, Sona-baby…”

“Thank you…” Sonata giggled with glee, then stood up, “Take off your clothes… Then I’ll dance some more…” She meanwhile did a little sexy dance on the spot.

Adagio sat back and pulled her blouse off her shoulders, along with her jeans. Undoing her bra and slipping it off, she tugged her thong off her legs with her free hand, and was seated naked and cross-legged on the sofa as she watched Sonata dance.

Sonata gave a cheer while dancing, “Woohoo, yeah! You’re so beautiful, Adagio-Mom!” She giggled, then straddled her lap again.

“Thank you,” Adagio smirked, stroking Sonata’s back.

“Mmm…. so warm…” Sonata nuzzled her face, running her hands along Adagio’s chest and sides, “You’re so soft!”

“That’s my moisturizer,” Adagio cooed, running her fingers through Sonata’s hair, “I should get you some if you like it so much.”

“Sure! I love how it feels and it smells!” Sonata nodded, kissing her cheek.

“This went from a lap dance to a cuddle, didn’t it?” Adagio giggled, patting Sonata’s rear.

“It can be both…” Sonata wiggled herself in her lap.

“Yes it can,” Adagio cooed softly, “I should market this…”

“Oh?” Sonata danced a little against her thighs, grinning, “How so?”

“Snuggles and lap dances out on the floor,” Adagio giggled, “I’m sure the girls would go for that.”

“They’d love it!” Sonata nodded eagerly.

“I know I do,” Adagio purred, patting Sonata’s rear a little faster.

Sonata gyrated her hips a little more as she snuggled her upper body against Adagio’s, “Me too! You always have awesome ideas, Adagio-Mommy!”

“Mommy? Ooh, that’s even better!” Adagio grinned, rocking in tandem with her as she kissed her nose.

“It is?” Sonata blinked, and pondered, “Huh… well, okay! It won’t feel too weird because I haven’t said ‘Mommy’ since I was nine or ten! Adagio-Mommy it is!”

Adagio shivered as she heard it, snaking her hand underneath Sonata’s corset and squeezing one of her breasts as the other patted her rear, “You know just how to push my buttons, Sona-baby…”

“Just like you know how to push mine,” Sonata purred, moaning softly in response.

“Mmhmm,” Adagio smiled, nuzzling Sonata’s cheek as a loud banging sounded from outside, “WHO IS IT!” she hollered at the door.

“Open the door, Miss Dazzle!” Came a male voice.

Sonata, recognizing the voice, squeaked in terror and practically flew off the couch, “SHIT! That’s my dad!”

“What do you want to do about it?” Adagio whispered.

“HIDE!” Sonata whispered loudly, grabbing a sweater and throwing it on before she dashed to the bedroom.

“Miss Dazzle, please open the door!” Came the voice of Sonata’s mother, “We were told our daughter is in here, please just open the door so we can see her!”

“Just a minute!” Adagio sang as she nonchalantly gathered up her clothes, “I’m not decent!”

After a few minutes, she was fully dressed and strolled over to the door, swinging it open, “Mr and Mrs Dusk, I haven’t seen you since my loan was paid off,” she smiled.

“Miss Dazzle,” Mr. Dusk said, gathering his voice, “we were told by Aria Blaze, one of Sonata’s old school friends, that she’s been here all this time.”

“Is it true?!” Mrs. Dusk asked worriedly, “Is our little girl truly alive?!”

Adagio took one look at the expression on Mrs Dusk’s face and pouted, “Oh I can’t do that to you, yes she’s here.”

Both parents looked immensely relieved, now looking all over for any signs of her.

“Please, can we see her?” Mrs. Dusk asked, shaking a bit, “We… We’re not going to press any sort of charges or anything. We just want to see her, to talk to her… please.”

Adagio waved them inside, “She hiding in the back.”

As the three of them moved to the living room, Adagio called out for Sonata, “Sona, your mother is here!”

“No! I’m not coming out!” Sonata shouted.

“Sonata! Sonata, baby! It’s us!” Mrs. Dusk followed the sound of her voice, “Sweetheart, please come out and talk to us!”

“No! Go away!” Sonata’s voice cracked, “She ratted me out!”

“Sonata, come out, please,” Mr. Dusk coaxed, “We just want to talk to you.”

“No! I don’t want to go home! I hate it there! I’m not leaving!”

“Sonata, come out here,” Adagio said sternly.

“Yes Adagio….”

Sonata came out moments later, now also wearing pants, with her head hung low. The moment she came into view, Mrs. Dusk came forth and grabbed her into a hug.

“Oh, sweetheart! You’re all right! We had thought you were dead!” Mrs. Dusk sobbed, stroking her hair, “Oh, why didn’t you tell us, baby? We were so worried!”

Try as she may to protest, Sonata began to cry and clung to her mother’s sweater, trembling hard. Mr. Dusk joined the two of them in the hug, closing his eyes and letting out a relieved sigh. For a few minutes or so, the family remained this way, as Sonata’s sobs lessened.

“I want an explanation, we both do,” Mr. Dusk said as he parted from his wife and daughter, “Will you two tell us what happened?”

“Do you want to tell him, or should I?” Adagio asked, sitting back on the sofa and looking directly at Sonata.

Sonata wiped her eyes, sighing heavily, “No, I’ll tell them. You want the truth, Mom and Dad? Fine. I hated my life! I hated South Ashfield… I’ve been picked on at school, I was almost raped, and nobody cared about me! I had an eating disorder because of it! Yes, Mom, that’s where all the leftovers went! In my stomach and then in the toilet! I binged and purged because I hated my body! I had no friends, my exes dumped me and treated me like crap.... And bullies just won’t leave me alone! I hated my life, and I wanted out! When I met Adagio, she… she was pretty much the only person who even cared about me at all! So when she was coming out here to open her club, I wanted to go with her. So I ran away, okay?! I didn’t want to fake my death, but I didn’t want you guys to know where I was so you wouldn’t take me back home and get her in trouble!”

Mr Dusk rounded on Adagio, clearly not impressed, “I had to inspect this place a dozen times until your loan was paid off, and she was here the whole time?! Right upstairs?!”

Adagio cocked an eyebrow, “Yup.”

“Yes, Dad! I was! I knew you were there and I hid!” Sonata cried, “It’s not her fault, it’s me! I didn’t want you guys to know I was here!”

“But… why? Not even just to let us know you were alive?” Mrs Dusk asked, wiping the tears from her eyes.

Sniffling a bit, Sonata sat down, “I wanted to, I just… figured to wait until I was eighteen. Plus I was scared of what you’d say.”

Adagio wrapped an arm around Sonata’s shoulder and pulled her close, “Shh, it’s okay,” she cooed softly.

“I don’t want to go home… please don’t make me go,” Sonata pleaded her parents, leaning against Adagio with a sniffle.

“Honey...we…” Mrs. Dusk sighed, wiping her eyes again, “There isn’t anything we can do, now that you’re eighteen. But we don’t want you to shut us out anymore. We’re sorry that we haven’t been as attentive to you as we should have been. I can’t even believe I didn’t notice that my own baby had an eating disorder… But we were negligent, and we’re deeply sorry, sweetie.”

Adagio looked between the three of them with a smirk, “Well I think we’ve made some wonderful progress here today,” she grinned, kissing the top of Sonata’s head.

“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you guys… I… won’t shut you out anymore…” Sonata sniffled, wiping her eyes, “I’ll give you all my contact info. But I just… I want to stay here. I love it here, and my life’s been great…”

“Have you been going to school this whole time?” Mr Dusk asked.

Shaking her head, Sonata sat up a bit more, “No, not exactly. I did get my GED and I signed up for classes at the community college in the text town.”

“And… you’ve been staying with Miss Dazzle this whole time?” Mrs Dusk asked.

“Yes…” Sonata nodded, “And don’t get me started! I got enough of that garbage from Aria! Yes, I know she’s twenty-three years older than me! Yes, I know it looks exactly like every parents’ worst nightmare! But it’s not! Adagio truly cares about me and she loves me! She’s done nothing but be a great friend and girlfriend to me! And I love her, too! I love her more than I’ve ever loved anyone! We love each other, okay? I want to stay here with her! That was part of why I ran away, because I loved her and wanted to be with someone who actually cared about me!”

Adagio slowly lowered her face into her palm as Mr and Mrs Dusk’s expressions changed to one of dumbfounded horror.

“Sona… you know how they didn’t walk in calling me a cradle robbing pedophile?” Adagio asked, “Aria never told them about us…”

Letting out a frustrated cry, Sonata grabbed onto a couch cushion and screamed into it.

“You WHAT?!” Mr Dusk shouted, having finally found his voice.

“Miss Dazzle… is this true? You’re… involved with our daughter?” Mrs. Dusk asked carefully.

“Ah fuck it,” Adagio sighed, “Yes, I am.”

“And DON’T say a word!” Sonata shouted, tears in her eyes, “I’m not leaving her!”

“Since when?” Mrs Dazzle asked.

“Just… two hours after Mr Dusk gave me the loan for my club,” Adagio recalled.

“...What…” Mr. Dusk uttered in shock.

“Yeah,” Adagio said as she recalled the events of that day, “I got the loan, she came over to celebrate, and we started making out.”

Sonata buried her face in the cushion again, while Mr and Mrs Dusk looked on with shock. No one spoke a word for a good few moments or so, completely dumbfounded by all of it. Adagio finally broke the silence by patting Sonata on the back.

“I think you should go into the other room, I might be getting my ass kicked,” she smiled.

“No!” Sonata shook her head, “If they want to say something to you, they can do it with me right here!”

“Well if you insist, Sona-baby,” Adagio kissed the top of her head.

“You two have been involved since she was fifteen…” Mrs. Dusk uttered, letting out a sigh, “Miss Dazzle, you could have been arrested. Might I ask… why?”

Adagio shrugged, “She was cute and cuddled in my lap.”

“That… doesn’t quite answer the question,” Mr. Dusk responded.

“Mom, Dad, please! There’s nothing to tell. We love each other, that’s it!” Sonata said.

“Sonata, you ran away when you were upset and vulnerable with a woman twenty-three years older than you!” Mr Dusk snapped, “Vanished off the face of the earth, not a word to anybody that you were okay, and you expect me to believe that?!”

Sonata shrank back, gulping a little, “I know what it looks like! I do! But it’s not like that, Adagio isn’t a predator and she never hurt me! Anything that happened, it was consensual! I just, yeah, I was dumb to run away and not say anything more, but still!”

“Sonata, you were fifteen! You couldn’t legally consent to squat!” Mr Dusk barked, glaring at Adagio, “And how dare you take advantage of an emotionally vulnerable girl like that!”

“Dad, no! She didn’t!” Sonata yelled, “I swear she didn’t!”

“Oh really? Who’s idea was it to start this little tryst?” Mr Dusk snapped.

“Me!” Sonata exclaimed, standing up again, only for Adagio to pull her back down, “She didn’t force me! If anyone initiated it, that was me!”

“And how much did she tell you no? That you were too young and on the rebound?” Mr Dusk asked.

Looking toward Adagio for a moment, Sonata bit her lip, unsure how to respond. She didn’t want to lie to her parents anymore, but also didn’t want to sell out Adagio as a predator. Especially since the truth was in fact what she knew her parents feared.

“I’m waiting, little girl!” Mr Dusk said sternly.

“She… She…” Sonata sniffled, “She only protested very little.”

“And who’s idea was it for you to move out here with her?” Mr Dusk asked.

Sonata wiped her eyes, “She offered it to me. It was kind of on the fly because she was worried about me. But I told her I wanted to. She kept giving me the chance to refuse, but I never took it.”

“Chance to refuse? I’ll believe that when hell freezes over,” Mr Dusk glared at Adagio, who seemed to be largely unphased by everything.

“Face it, Sona, this… woman… took advantage of you,” Mrs Dusk said, looking at Adagio with disgust.

“Stop saying that!” Sonata cried, tears running down her face, “It’s not like that, I swear!”

“It IS like that!” Mr Dusk barked, “This woman snatched you up and-”

“Mr and Mrs Dusk, I’m going to have to ask you to leave,” Adagio said calmly, “You’re upsetting my Sona-baby.”

Both parents looked at her with disbelief, while Sonata buried her face in her neck and trembled.

“Miss Dazzle, after what you did to our daughter, you are under no position to say such a thing,” Mr. Dusk said sternly.

“Oh? It’s my house, my club, and I have five bouncers downstairs who would love a chance to come see their Mistress,” Adagio smiled warmly, “Now, I believe I asked you to leave.”

Muttering to themselves, the two of them begrudgingly left, though not without stating this wouldn’t be the last time. After the door closed and the footsteps faded, Sonata began to sob. Adagio pulled her into her lap and gently patted her back.

“It’s okay…” she whispered, “Mommy’s here…”

“I can’t believe she ratted us out! Then my parents just jump down your throat like you’re a predator!” Sonata sniffled, snuggling closer to her, “I should’ve known this would happen! Why… Why can’t they just leave me alone?!”

“Shhhh…” Adagio whispered, “They can yell and scream and make their noise, but they can’t make you do anything anymore.”

“They could take you to court…”

“And say what?” Adagio scoffed.

Sonata shivered, “I don’t know! I just… I just don’t want this to get any worse…”

“It won’t,” Adagio purred softly, “You’re still getting used to the fact that you’re eighteen now. If you don’t want this to go to court, it won’t. If you don’t want this to get worse, it won’t. All they can do is scream and shout.”

“Okay…” Sonata cuddled more against her, nuzzling her neck, “I just want to stay here with you and live my life peacefully… I don’t want someone trying to drag me away or any backstabbing bitches trying to make my life hell…”

“Then you will,” Adagio whispered softly, kissing her cheek, “It’s just like when they told you being gay was just a phase. You nod dismissively and call them an idiot.”

Nodding a little, Sonata nuzzled her cheek, “I’ll try… I’ll try.”

“There we are,” Adagio purred softly, nuzzling her cheek, “I’m just a little upset that we always have a mood killer at the door.”

“There better not be anymore,” Sonata pouted.

“Yeah, otherwise we may never have sex again,” Adagio giggled, kissing her cheek.

“Noooo!” Sonata hugged her more, “I won’t survive if we abstain! Okay, I will, but still!”

Adagio giggled and nuzzled her cheek, “Hey, I’m still over the moon about getting you in bed before you turned sixteen,” she licked Sonata’s cheek as she squeezed her tightly.

“Adagio!” Sonata blushed heavily, “Nuuu! You’re not supposed to say that!”

“And why not?” Adagio giggled.

“It makes you look bad....”

“So?” Adagio grinned, nuzzling her cheek.

Sonata scrunched up her face, nuzzling her, “Can we have sex, now? I’m still horny…”

All at once, Adagio burst out laughing and fell back, pulling Sonata with her. Her voice became high and squeaky and she snorted a few times, “Oh my god, you should hear yourself!”

“What? What’d I do?” Sonata pouted, blushing a little more, “What’d I say?”

“Just the way you phrased it, it was like a child begging her mother for lunch!” Adagio laughed, patting Sonata’s back as she cuddled her close, still on the verge of fainting from laughter.

Now Sonata giggled, settling herself on top of Adagio as she slowly stripped, “Hey… you’re right… it did sound kinda like that.”

Adagio wiped a tear from her eye as she settled down, “Oh, and that does not help my mother-daughter play fetish, let me tell you…”

“I guess not…” Sonata sat up a bit, throwing off her shirt, “But I’m serious! I’m horny!”

Adagio both laughed and purred at the same time. Even twenty years later, Sonata still couldn’t figure out how she pulled that off.

“I’ll bet you are,” she giggled, “We’ve been interrupted twice in a row now.” Next Chapter: Call Her A Predator One More Time Estimated time remaining: 8 Hours, 17 Minutes
